Loftus Garden Village Phase 2 update

We would like to provide you with an recent update and a basic overview of where we currently are with the development of Loftus Phase 2. The existing drainage that was running through the site has now been diverted and connected into Telford Street. As well as this, the mains foul drainage is nearing completion and connected into Telford Street. The foundations have started to the first 5 houses – these are plot numbers 7-11. Timber frame houses will start to be erected late September with Plot 7 being the…

Phase 2 Loftus Garden Village

Please have a look at the attached letter for the latest update on phase 2, Loftus Garden Village. A hard copy will be sent to residents who directly face the site. Thank you!

Eight years ago, Loftus Garden village was nothing more than the beginnings of a building site on a fantastic new venture. Newport’s first Garden Village would pave the way for a new approach to building homes, with sustainability and green infrastructure at its core. This new idea of surrounding residents with trees, shrubs and flowers, not only makes it a visually beautiful place to live but also a very attractive place for wildlife to set up home. This in turn increases biodiversity and creates a wonderful environment to bring up…

Loftus Garden Village is looking festive once again thanks to a kind donation of a Christmas tree from Pobl’s contractor, Andrew D’Auria Solutions (ADS). Jason Dymock, of the Loftus Garden Village Neighbourhood Watch Group, approached ADS to ask if they would be willing to offer financial support towards the purchase of the tree, and they generously agreed to cover the full cost, including delivery. In true partnership spirit, the Loftus gardening team then erected the tree on site, and Pobl agreed to cover the cost of the electricity to keep…

Once again, credit where credit’s due to the fantastic organisation of community events at Loftus Garden Village. The Platinum Jubilee being the latest excuse to get everyone together and party. Jason and the Neighbourhood Watch team put on a fabulous event for all the family in Loftus Square on the bank holiday Friday and Julie Murphy did the same for the co-op street on Saturday the following week. Community spirit was awesome, the pictures speak for themselves. Even Her Majesty herself made an appearance!

Hi plot holders! It’s that time of year again: this is a gentle reminder that your allotment contract is coming to an end and your kitchen garden plots are to be handed back by the 1st of March. Please ensure they are returned in the same condition you received them i.e. clear of weeds, produce and any rubbish. Failure to do this will exclude you from applying again this year. If you do have any winter crops that are not ready for harvest, please contact Frances to discuss. If you…

Please be aware of new Bollards

You might have noticed that we have two wooden bollards on the street corners in Loftus square. These were installed a year or so back as a trail to prevent vehicles carelessly running over the corners of the street beds and damaging plants. They have proven to be a success, so over the next few weeks, we will be putting in more where they are needed. They will have reflectors on them and be positioned in the beds so there will be no excuse for running into them, other than…

Merry Christmas & a happy new year from everyone at Pobl!

Many of you will be aware that Loftus Phase 2 is on the horizon. Loftus Garden Village was the first of its kind for Pobl and has become the benchmark for the standard of homes that we want to build in the future. Cutting carbon is one of our key ambitions as a business, so we are looking at how we can make our new homes even more sustainable and eco friendly. Loftus Phase 2 will be built with these goals in mind; heating will provided by underground heat pumps,…
